Join CND for a protest in Plymouth, focused on the Devonport Dockyard, where Britain’s nuclear-armed submarines are serviced!
12 noon assemble on Guildhall Square, Armada Way in Plymouth city centre (an accessible pedestrian walk from the Rail and coach stations) for a march and rally; and then
2pm assembly at the gates of the Trident nuclear dockyard, Camel’s Head, Devonport.
The Devonport Dockyard is at the centre of Britain’s deadly nuclear weapons system. It services the current generation of nuclear-armed Vanguard submarines, and is a decommissioning centre for nuclear-powered submarines.
Devonport is one of the most socially deprived areas of England. The nuclear dockyard holds back other potential business investment in Plymouth. Green energy is a critical, rapidly expanding industry. The Devonport dockyard could be a major centre for wind and wave turbine construction. The billions being wasted on nuclear weapons could be spent on social welfare, and redirected into creating highly skilled, well-paid jobs that don’t threaten people and planet.
